Amendment of Quarantine Order; Viral Hemor-rhagic Septicemia Virus

Recitals

A. Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) is an infectiousdisease caused by a rhabdovirus—the viral hemorrhagicsepticemia virus (VHSV)—in a variety of fish species.

B. VHS has been designated a ‘‘dangerous transmis-sible disease’’ of animals under a temporary order issuedby the Department of Agriculture (Department) under 3Pa.C.S. § 2321(d) (relating to dangerous transmissiblediseases). The current temporary order making this desig-nation was published at 36 Pa.B. 7974 (December 30,2006).

C. The Department has broad authority under theDomestic Animal Law to regulate the keeping and han-dling of domestic animals to exclude, contain or eliminatedangerous transmissible diseases.

D. VHS has caused death losses to various fish speciesin the Great Lakes and other infected waterways.

E. VHS is of particular concern to Pennsylvania’saquaculture industry, in that its presence and impact mayseverely limit the market for Pennsylvania-produced fishand fish products.

F. VHS virus exists within the Lake Erie and LakeOntario Watersheds, which includes portions of Crawford,Erie and Potter Counties.

G. The Department registers ‘‘artificial propagators’’ offish and ‘‘dealers’’ of fish under 3 Pa.C.S. §§ 4201—4223(relating to Aquacultural Development Law). There arethe Department-registered artificial propagators and deal-ers within the Lake Erie and the Lake Ontario Water-sheds.

H. VHS virus exists in several States outside thisCommonwealth, including Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,Minnesota, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin.

I. There is no known treatment for VHS infection, novaccine against this disease and no feasible live animaltest that can detect the presence of VHSV.

J. The Domestic Animal Law allows at 3 Pa.C.S.§ 2329 (relating to quarantine) for the establishment of aQuarantine Order under the circumstances describedpreviously.

K. PDA established a VHS-related quarantine by Orderof October 13, 2007. This was published at 37 Pa.B. 5534.

L. The referenced October 13, 2007, Quarantine Orderincorporated the then-current list of ‘‘VHS-susceptiblespecies’’ developed by the Animal and Plant HealthInspection Service of the United States Department ofAgriculture (USDA APHIS). USDA APHIS has sincerevised that list—adding some species to the list, deletingsome species and clarifying the names of some species.

M. PDA seeks to amend its October 13, 2007, Quaran-tine Order by revising the definition of ‘‘VHS-susceptiblespecies’’ to track with current USDA APHIS thinking onthis subject.Order

The Department amends Paragraph 2 of the GeneralQuarantine Order and Interstate Quarantine Order itissued with respect to VHS on October 13, 2007, aspublished at 37 Pa.B. 5534, to read in its entirety asfollows:

2. VHS-susceptible species. For purposes of this order,the term ‘‘VHS-susceptible species’’ shall include liveanimals, dead animals and dead animal parts of thefollowing fish species, as well as any other fish speciesdesignated ‘‘VHS-susceptible species’’ by the Animal andPlant Health Inspection Service of the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture (USDA APHIS) after the effec-tive date of this Order:

Black Crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus), Bluegill(Lepomis macrochirus), Bluntnose Minnow (Pime-phales notatus), Brown Bullhead (Ictalurusnebulosus), Brown Trout (Salmo trutta), Burbot (Lotalota), Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), ChinookSalmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Emerald Shiner(Notropis atherinoides), Freshwater Drum (Aplodino-tus grunniens), Gizzard Shad (Dorosoma cepedia-num), Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis),Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides), Muskel-lunge (Esox masquinongy), Pike (Esox lucius), Pump-kinseed (Lepomis gibbosus), Rainbow Trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss), Rock Bass (Ambloplitesrupestris), Round Goby (Neogobius melanostomus),Shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidoptum),Silver redhorse (Moxostoma anisurum), SmallmouthBass (Micropterus dolomieu), Spottail shiner(Notropis hudsonius), Trout-perch (Percopsisomiscomaycus), Walleye (Sander vitreus), White Bass(Morone chrysops), White Perch (Morone americana),

PENNSYLVANIA BULLETIN, VOL. 37, NO. 49, DECEMBER 8, 2007

Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens). The term ‘‘VHS-susceptible species’’ does not include the eggs of thesespecies.The term ‘‘VHS-susceptible species’’ does not include

any of the previously-listed species if it is no longerdesignated a ‘‘VHS-susceptible species’’ by USDA APHISafter the date of this Order.

The referenced General Quarantine Order and Inter-state Quarantine Order issued with respect to VHS onOctober 13, 2007, shall remain in full force and effect,with the amendment stated previously.

This Order is immediately effective on this date, andshall remain in effect unless rescinded or modified bysubsequent order.

This Order shall not be construed as limiting theDepartment’s authority to establish additional quarantineor testing requirements relating to VHS.

Patient Safety Trust Fund Surcharge for FiscalYear 2007-2008 Under the Medical Care Account-ability and Reduction of Error Act

On March 20, 2002, the Medical Care Accountabilityand Reduction of Error Act (MCARE Act) (40 P. S.§§ 1301.101—1301.910) was signed into law. Among other

6474 NOTICES


provisions, the MCARE Act established the Patient SafetyAuthority (Authority) to collect, analyze and evaluatedata regarding reports of serious events and incidentsoccurring in certain medical facilities and to make recom-mendations to those facilities regarding changes, trendsand improvements in health care practices and proce-dures for the purpose of reducing the number andseverity of serious events and incidents.

Section 305(a) of the MCARE Act (40 P. S.§ 1301.305(a)) authorizes the establishment of a PatientSafety Trust Fund (Fund) for the operations of theAuthority. Section 305(c) states that commencing July 1,2002, and for every fiscal year thereafter, each medicalfacility covered by the MCARE Act shall pay the Depart-ment of Health (Department) a surcharge on its licensingfee as necessary to provide sufficient revenues to operatethe Authority. Section 305(c) of the MCARE Act alsostates that the total assessment amount for Fiscal Year(FY) 2002-2003 shall not exceed $5 million and that theDepartment shall transfer the total assessment amountto the Fund within 30 days of receipt.

Section 305(d) of the MCARE Act provides that for eachsucceeding calendar year, the Department shall deter-mine and assess each medical facility a proportionateshare of the Authority’s budget. The base amount of $5million provided for in FY 2002-2003 shall be increasedno more than the Consumer Price Index in each succeed-ing fiscal year. With the cooperation of Pennsylvaniahospitals, birthing centers and ambulatory surgery facil-ities, the surcharge for FYs 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 wasimplemented, and provided resources for the implementa-tion of the web-based Pennsylvania Patient Safety Re-porting System and the operation of the Authority.

The Authority has recommended that the FY 2007-2008surcharge assessment total $5,400,000. The Departmentwill bill the facilities in two installments, the first to bepaid within 60 days from the date of the invoice and thesecond to be paid by May 30, 2008.

This notice sets forth the procedure that the Depart-ment will follow in assessing and collecting the surchargefor 2007-2008. The MCARE Act states that the surchargeshall be collected from medical facilities, which aredefined as ambulatory surgical facilities (ASFs), birthcenters, hospitals and abortion clinics licensed undereither the Health Care Facilities Act (35 P. S.§§ 448.101—448.904) or Article X of the Public WelfareCode (62 P. S. §§ 1001—1087).

To assess the surcharge in an equitable manner, theDepartment continues to use a common denominator inthese facilities. For ASFs, birth centers and abortionclinics, the Department has chosen the number of operat-ing and procedure rooms; and for hospitals, the Depart-ment has chosen the number of beds contained on thelicense of each hospital, whether by the Department(general and special acute care hospitals) or the Depart-ment of Public Welfare (privately owned psychiatric hos-pitals). It was also necessary to pick a point in time tomake this assessment; the Department has chosen Octo-ber 31, 2007.

The amount of operating/procedure rooms (for ASFs,birth centers and abortion clinics) and the amount oflicensed beds (for hospitals) was totaled and that amountwas divided into $2,700,000 to arrive at a charge per unit.The total number of units (operating rooms, procedurerooms and licensed beds) is 44,463. Dividing this numberinto $2,700,000 results in a per unit assessment ofapproximately $60.73. As stated previously, an additional

assessment of $2,700,000 will be completed and payableby May 30, 2008. The Department will provide separatenotice when this assessment is due from the facilities. Toobtain a copy of the assessment for all facilities, send anemail to [email protected], and request the2007-2008 MCARE surcharge assessment list.

Each facility will receive notification from the Depart-ment setting forth the amount due, date due and thename and address to which the payment should be sent.The MCARE Act authorizes the Department to assess anadministrative penalty of $1,000 per day on facilities whofail to pay the surcharge by the due date.

If a medical facility has any questions concerning thisnotice, a representative from that facility should contactSusan Legros, Acting Director, Department of Health,Division of Acute and Ambulatory Care, Room 532,Health and Welfare Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717)783-8980.

FindingBucks County

Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of1929 (71 P. S. § 572(b)), the Acting Director of the Bureauof Design makes the following written finding:

The Federal Highway Administration and the Depart-ment of Transportation are planning a roadway recon-struction and widening and bridge improvement projectthat involves 2.8 miles of roadway, ten bridge structures,and four retaining walls in Bensalem and MiddletownTownships, Bucks County.

The subject project is considered a Level 1B CategoricalExclusion in accordance with 23 CFR Part 771.117(d),Items 1 and 3, as published in the August 28, 1987Federal Register.

The Reading Railroad—NY Line (CSX Trenton Line) isan eligible resource on the National Register of HistoricPlaces, and is, therefore, a Section 2002/Section 4(f)resource. Impacts to the Reading Railroad—NY Line(CSX Trenton Line) will constitute a use of the Section2002/Section 4(f) resource. Based upon studies, there is noprudent and feasible alternative to the proposed action.

The environmental, economic, social and other effects ofthe proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 ofThe Administrative Code of 1929 have been considered. Ithas been concluded that there is no feasible and prudentalternative to the project as designed, and all reasonablesteps have been taken to minimize the effects.

Preneed Activities of Unlicensed Employee

November 28, 2007

We submit for your consideration the following com-ments on the proposed rulemaking published in theSeptember 29, 2007 Pennsylvania Bulletin. Our com-ments are based on criteria in section 5.2 of the Regula-tory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5b). Section 5.1(a) of theRegulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5a(a)) directs theState Board of Funeral Directors (Board) to respond to allcomments received from us or any other source.1. Comments from the House Committee—Fiscal

impact; Public health and welfare; Implementa-tion procedures; Feasibility; Reasonableness; Con-sistency or conflict with the statute; Need; Clar-ity; Compliance with the Act.

By letter dated November 14, 2007, the House Profes-sional Licensure Committee (House Committee) submit-ted its comments on this proposed regulation whichidentified concerns, issues and questions that relate di-rectly to the criteria and requirements for submitting

regulations. We share the comments presented by theHouse Committee and incorporate them into the Commis-sion’s comments on this proposed regulation.

One of the most important concerns raised by theHouse Committee and other commentators was the fiscalimpact of the proposed regulation. They assert that theproposed regulation does not reflect current practices inmany segments of the preneed market and will increasecosts for funeral entities and customers. The Board failedto provide any estimates of these potential costs in theRegulatory Analysis Form or the Preamble that accompa-nied the proposed regulation. Fiscal impact and otherinformation is required by Section 5(a) of the RegulatoryReview Act (Act) (71 P. S. § 745.5(a)). Therefore, theBoard needs to develop and document an analysis of thefiscal impact of this proposed regulation on both thepublic and private sectors. This analysis should includedetailed information as required by the Act (71 P. S.§§ 745.5(a)(4), (a)(5) and (a)(9)—(12)).

2. Section 13.1. Definitions.—Reasonableness; Need;Clarity.

Preneed activity—

This term is used only once in the proposed regulation.Therefore, this definition may be unnecessary and shouldbe deleted from the final-form regulation unless theBoard can explain both the intent and need for thedefinition.

Preneed funeral contract—

We have questions in two areas concerning this defini-tion.

First, why does this definition only include the term‘‘funeral entity’’? In addition to ‘‘funeral entity,’’ the term‘‘licensed funeral director’’ is defined in Section 13.1 of theexisting regulations. Why not include both ‘‘funeral en-tity’’ and ‘‘licensed funeral director’’ in the definition forpreneed funeral contract?

Second, what is the intent of including the phrase‘‘whether or not the funeral entity receives preneedfuneral funds’’? Why would a business enter into such acontract without receiving funds?

Furthermore, a significant focus of Section 13(c) of theFuneral Director Law (Law) (63 P. S. § 479.13(c)) is themoney received for such contracts. What type of review oroversight would the Board exercise in a situation wherethere is no monetary transaction?

NOTICES 6479


3. Section 13.206a. Utilization of unlicensed employ-ees by a funeral entity.—Fiscal impact; Publicwelfare; Implementation procedures; Feasibility;Reasonableness; Consistency or conflict with stat-utes and other regulations; Need; Clarity.There are four subsections in this section. Our com-

ments include issues and questions relating to the wholesection, and also identify specific questions or issuesrelating to provisions in each subsection.

Throughout the section, the terms or phrases ‘‘unli-censed employee’’ and ‘‘employee not licensed under theact’’ appear to be used interchangeably. If both refer tothe same type of individual, the Board should pick oneterm or phrase and use it consistently in the final-formregulation.Subsection (a)—Responsibilities and conditions

This subsection contains five subparagraphs. Our com-ments and questions address four areas regarding thesesubparagraphs.

First, the intent of the phrase ‘‘close supervision’’ inSubparagraph (a)(2) is unclear. The final-form regulationshould specify the standards for the term ‘‘close supervi-sion’’ or delete this subparagraph from the final-formregulation.

Second, Subparagraph (a)(3) mirrors Section 11(a)(8) ofthe Law (63 P. S. § 479.11(a)(8)). In discussing thisprovision, the Preamble states:

By prohibiting the unlicensed employee from beingpaid based upon how much preneed business theemployee brings into the funeral home, this provisionis intended to reduce the employee’s incentive topersuade a customer to select funeral services andmerchandise whether or not that selection would bein the customer’s interest.

What safeguards are in place to deter funeral entitiesand licensed funeral directors from persuading a cus-tomer to select services and merchandise that are not inthe customer’s interest regardless of whether unlicensedemployees are involved?

Third, we have questions and concerns in two areasrelating to Subparagraph (a)(4) which reads:

A licensed funeral director of the funeral entityemploying an unlicensed employee in this capacityshall consult face-to-face with each customer beforeentering into or offering to enter into a preneedfuneral contract.

It is unclear whether this provision also applies tofuneral entities that do not hire unlicensed employees toconduct preneed business. What are the requirements forentities or directors who do not have unlicensed employ-ees involved in preneed business? Would the ‘‘face-to-face’’rule apply to them? If not, could such a funeral directorconduct preneed business via the postal service, email ortelephone? If some form of ‘‘face-to-face’’ rule is retainedin the final-form regulation, it should apply to all transac-tions, not just the ones where unlicensed employees areinvolved.

The House Committee, Pennsylvania Association forAutism and Intellectual Disabilities and other commenta-tors expressed serious concerns with, and opposition to,the ‘‘face-to-face’’ requirement. It is our understandingthat there may be hundreds to thousands of preneedcontracts being completed by means of the postal servicewithout ‘‘face-to-face’’ meetings. Many of these customersare confined to their residences for various health rea-

sons. They live in various regions across the state. Manyare also seeking to set aside preneed funds and avoidhaving them counted as resources in eligibility determi-nations for Social Security or Medical Assistance pro-grams. Under a ‘‘face-to-face’’ mandate, these prearrange-ment services and the setting aside of resources may beunavailable. Given these conditions, is this new require-ment feasible or necessary?

Before the Board requires ‘‘face-to-face’’ meetings, itshould determine whether there are sufficient numbers oflicensees available to meet with these parties andwhether a ‘‘face-to-face’’ rule is needed. The final-formregulation could provide for flexibility and consumerchoice by requiring that customers be given options suchas: 1) ‘‘face-to-face’’ consultation; 2) teleconference; 3)email, facsimile or postal service; or 4) communication viaintermediaries or unlicensed employees.

Fourth, Subparagraph (a)(5) contains language for aprescribed notice stating that a document presented by anunlicensed employee is not a binding contract. The Penn-sylvania Funeral Directors Association (PFDA) and othercommentators questioned the need for this requirement.Since a preneed contract must be signed by a funeraldirector, why is the prescribed notice necessary?

As an alternative to this notice, the Board shouldconsider requiring a different disclosure statement. Thisdisclosure would inform customers that an agent oremployee is not a licensed funeral director and is actingonly as an employee or agent for the licensed funeraldirector(s). In part, the language of this disclosure couldmirror Section 15(1) of the Law (63 P. S. § 479.15(1))which is entitled ‘‘What constitutes practice.’’ Section15(1) reads:

A person, either individually or as a member of apartnership or of a corporation, shall be deemed to bepracticing as a funeral director within the meaningand intent of this act who:

(1) holds himself out to the public in any manner asone who is skilled in the knowledge, science andpractice of funeral directing, embalming or undertak-ing, or who advertises himself as an undertaker,mortician or funeral director.

By disclosing that the unlicensed person is not practic-ing as a person skilled in the profession, it would preventany misconceptions on the part of customers as towhether the unlicensed person is practicing as a licensedfuneral director.

Subsection (b)—Permitted activities

This subsection describes what an unlicensed employeemay do in conducting preneed business. The employeemay:

• Distribute general price lists of the employingfuneral entity only.

• Provide general assistance . . . including communi-cations with customers, not otherwise prohibited bythe act or this chapter.

The Board submitted a copy of the Federal courtdecision in Walker v. Flitton, 364 F.Supp.2d 503 (M.D. Pa.2005) (Walker) with this proposed regulation. The Pre-amble of the proposed regulation states that in theWalker decision, ‘‘the court noted the responsibility of theBoard to delineate with precision what conduct by unli-censed persons is permissible.’’ The proposed regulationdoes not provide sufficient detail to satisfy the court’smandate. The final-form regulation should provide spe-

6480 NOTICES


cific direction and concrete examples of the types ofinteraction and assistance that may be conducted byunlicensed employees in the preneed business.

Subsection (c)—Prohibited activities

This subsection includes a list of prohibitions thatapply to unlicensed employees. The list is divided intoseven subparagraphs. We have identified the followingquestions and issues with the language of these subpara-graphs.

There is an overall concern. To justify these subpara-graphs, the Preamble relies exclusively on the Common-wealth Court decision in Ferguson v. State Bd. of FuneralDirectors, 768 A.2d 393 (2001) (Ferguson). The Board’sposition that assisting customers in the selection ofservices and merchandise constitutes the practice offuneral directing was upheld in Ferguson. However, in itsopinion, the court clearly noted both its obligation to givedeference to the Board’s interpretation of its rules andregulations, and the court’s limited scope of review. 768A.2d at 398.

Several commentators raised fiscal and policy concernsregarding this subsection. In addition, the Federal courtin Walker clearly expressed a preference for prohibitionson commercial speech that are ‘‘narrowly tailored’’ toachieve a governmental interest. 364 F.Supp.2d at 525—526. In this light, we would encourage the Board toreview its interpretation of the Law and consider allowingfor more active and robust participation in preneedactivities by unlicensed employees.

As the Board responds to commentators’ concerns andquestions regarding Subsection (c), it should:

1) Specifically identify the governmental interest orpolicy objective that each prohibition is designed toachieve.

2) Clarify how the provision is ‘‘deemed necessary orproper to safeguard the interests of the public andthe standards of the profession’’ (63 P. S. § 479.16(a)).

3) Explain how the provision has been ‘‘narrowlytailored’’ to implement the governmental interest orpolicy objective.

The Board should provide solid and factual documenta-tion to explain how each restriction on commercial speechwill effectively protect the public from real and ongoingharm.

Subparagraph (c)(1) requires that an unlicensed em-ployee be associated with only one funeral entity. Severalcommentators assert that this requirement will place ahardship on smaller funeral homes, especially in ruralareas. A smaller business may not be able to hire anemployee to assist in preneed business. But, two or morefuneral homes could combine resources to share anemployee who focuses on preneed business. Removing thisoption may reduce the ability of funeral entities to offerpreneed services and increase the price of such services(since a single funeral home will need to charge more tocompensate its employee). The Board should explain theneed for this requirement and how it will impact theavailability and cost of services.

Subparagraph (c)(2) prohibits the unlicensed employeefrom preparing ‘‘worksheets, proposals or other presenta-tions.’’ This language is overly broad. Can these employ-ees work independently and away from customers inpreparing these items with or for a licensee?

Subparagraphs (c)(3) and (c)(4) prohibit the involve-ment of unlicensed employees in communications withcustomers concerning the ‘‘actual selection of funeralservices and merchandise incidental to the services’’ andmaking of ‘‘financial arrangements.’’ How will the Boardmonitor these activities and enforce the prohibitions?Another concern is possible confusion relating to sale of‘‘merchandise.’’ Any person may sell merchandise underAct 1059 of 1963 (63 P. S. §§ 480.1—480.11) (Act 1059),also known as the Future Interment Law. Currently,unlicensed vendors legally sell funeral merchandise inPennsylvania. The Walker court also observed that unli-censed individuals may sell funeral merchandise. 364F.Supp.2d at 525—526. The Board should address thispotential conflict between Act 1059 and its interpretationof the Law, and it should explain what is meant by‘‘merchandise incidental to the services.’’

Subparagraph (c)(5) would not allow an unlicensedemployee to ‘‘[o]ffer to or enter into a preneed funeralcontract with any customer on behalf of the funeraldirector or funeral entity.’’ Would an unlicensed employeebe allowed to deliver or present a copy of a draft contractto a customer? If not, why?

Subsection (d)—Insurance agents

There are two concerns with this subsection.

First, this is the only subsection which uses the word‘‘agent.’’ The House Committee requested more informa-tion concerning the impact of this proposed regulation onother professions but it did not identify all these profes-sions as ‘‘agents.’’ The Federal court in Walker referred to‘‘agents’’ in conjunction with employees of a funeraldirector even though the specific circumstances of thecase were limited to employees of funeral entities. 364F.Supp.2d at 507, 513, 520, 522—526, 528 and 529. TheWalker decision also used the words ‘‘employer’’ and‘‘principal’’ in discussing employees and agents. 364F.Supp.2d at 506, 520, 522 and 528. The final-formregulation should provide specific direction for agentsworking on preneed accounts, or the Board should explainwhy they are not included.

Second, the last subsection includes the phrase ‘‘alicensed insurance agent acting under licensure from theInsurance Department.’’ This reference is incomplete andout-of-date. Act 147 of 2002 (Act 147) changed this termto ‘‘insurance producer.’’ However, the existing regulationsfor the Insurance Department at 31 Pa. Code Chapters 37and 39 have not yet been revised and continue to use theterms ‘‘insurance agents and brokers.’’ These two chaptersremain effective to the extent they are not ‘‘clearlyinconsistent’’ with the new act (40 P. S. § 310.98). If thissubsection is retained in the final-form regulation, itshould be revised to include references to the existingregulations and Act 147.

4. General—Fiscal impact; Reasonableness; Imple-mentation procedures; Feasibility; Need; Clarity.

PFDA submitted extensive comments supporting thegoal of the proposed regulation. It also made severalsuggestions for revisions and additions of new and sub-stantive provisions. Its recommendations included propos-als for new rules and procedures regulating registrationand bonding, direct mail, seminars and telemarketing. Weurge the Board to carefully examine and consider PFDA’srecommendations.

NOTICES 6481


However, if the Board opts to pursue promulgation ofsubstantial and extensive provisions that were not in-cluded in the notice of proposed rulemaking in thePennsylvania Bulletin for this regulation, it should intro-duce these programs via a future notice of proposedrulemaking. The general public and General Assemblyshould be afforded a full opportunity to review suchprovisions and offer comments before such substantiveproposals are submitted in a final-form regulation.

State Board of PharmacyRegulation #16A-5416 (IRRC #2640)

Revisions Regarding Current Pharmacy Practice

November 28, 2007

We submit for your consideration the following com-ments on the proposed rulemaking published in theSeptember 29, 2007 Pennsylvania Bulletin. Our com-ments are based on criteria in Section 5.2 of the Regula-tory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5b). Section 5.1(a) of theRegulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5a(a)) directs theState Board of Pharmacy (Board) to respond to allcomments received from us or any other source.

1. Section 27.12—Practice of pharmacy and delega-tion of duties.—Implementation procedures; Clar-ity.

The proposed changes to this section specifically relateto the duties and responsibilities of pharmacy interns.Has the Board considered adding specific penalty provi-sions to this section pertaining to failure of the pharma-cist to appropriately supervise a pharmacy intern?

The proposed rulemaking also deletes the prohibitionon pharmacy interns accepting and transcribing oralorders and prescriptions. Has the Board considered in-cluding this duty in Subsection (c)(3) as one of theprocedures pharmacy interns may now perform? It shouldbe noted that these duties are included in the proposedchanges to Subsections 27.18(n) and (o).

2. Section 27.17—Security for Schedule II con-trolled substances.—Implementation procedures;Clarity.

This section relates to security for Schedule II con-trolled substances. We raise three issues.

First, the proposed changes to Subsection (b) appear tobe contradictory. This Subsection requires that: ‘‘[S]ched-ule II controlled substances shall be stored in securelylocked, substantially constructed cabinets,’’ but also pro-vides that these substances: ‘‘[ m ] ay be dispersedthroughout the stock of noncontrolled substances in amanner that obstructs the theft or diversion of thecontrolled substances.’’ (Emphasis added.) In the final-form regulation, the Board should clarify not only how itis possible to lock these substances, while at the sametime dispersing them with noncontrolled substances, butalso how this method is an adequate safety measure. Thefinal-form regulation also should clarify what a ‘‘substan-tially constructed cabinet’’ is.

Second, how will the Board enforce these storageprovisions?

Finally, has the Board considered specifying whichcategories of medical professionals can access Schedule IIcontrolled substances in facilities under the jurisdiction ofthe Board? Why or why not?

3. Section 27.18—Standards of practice.—Statutoryauthority; Reasonableness; Implementation pro-cedures; Clarity.

Subsection (j)

This Subsection (j) provides that: ‘‘[p]rescriptions forSchedule II controlled substances may not be filled morethan 6 months from the date of the prescription.’’ What isthe Board’s statutory authority for this provision? Also,how did the Board determine that six months is anappropriate timeframe in which to honor this type ofprescription?Subsection (l)

Subsection (l)(3) refers to the mailing of medications,prescription drugs, etc. The proposed rulemaking indi-cates that such mailings are permissible if ‘‘[s]hipped in amanner which would preserve the integrity of the drug.’’This phrase is vague, and more specific language isneeded in the final-form regulation. Also, how will theBoard enforce this provision?Subsection (r)

Subsection (r)(6) refers to advertising of special pricesfor prescriptions, etc. The proposed language replaces ‘‘apharmacist or pharmacy’’ with ‘‘any person,’’ with respectto who is responsible for the advertising. Why did theBoard propose this change to the regulation?

4. Section 27.19—Prospective drug review and pa-tient counseling.—Clarity.

Subsection (d)

Subsections (d)(1), (2) and (3) provide what a prospec-tive drug review (PDR) does not extend to, examples ofsituations when a PDR is required and examples of whena PDR is not required. A commentator noted that it isconfusing to have examples of when a PDR is not used intwo separate subsections. Clarity would be improved bycombining (d)(1) and (3) into one subsection.

5. Section 27.25—Licensure by reciprocity.—Clarity.

Subsection (c) refers to abbreviations for what appearsto be pharmacy licensure exams. These abbreviationsshould be defined in this section.

Request for Comments on the need to continuethe Small Generator Interconnection Rulemakingbegun under Doc. No. L-00040168

With this Secretarial Letter, the Pennsylvania PublicUtility Commission (Commission) seeks comments onwhether there is a need to continue with the SmallGenerator Interconnection Standards and ProceduresRulemaking at Doc. No. L-00040168 in light of thepromulgation of Alternative Energy Portfolio StandardsAct (AEPS) Interconnection Standards at 52 Pa. CodeChapter 75, Subchapter C (relating to interconnectionstandards). Alternatively, the Commission seeks com-ments on the advisability of expanding the scope of theAEPS interconnection rules to cover all small generators,regardless of whether they qualify as customer—generators under the AEPS Act.

On November 19, 2004, the Commission entered anorder soliciting comments regarding small generationinterconnection standards and procedures. The Commis-sion sought to achieve the following specific goals bypromulgating rules establishing these standards and pro-cedures: (1) elimination of unnecessary barriers to entryin the distributed generation market; (2) promoting dis-tributed generation in order to provide peak demandresponsiveness; (3) enhancing grid reliability; (4) increas-ing transparency in the interconnection process; (5) creat-ing uniformity and thereby easing the difficulty presentedby a patchwork of different procedures; and (6) loweringthe overall cost of locating and placing distributed genera-tion across this Commonwealth. The Commission soughtcomments on the technical requirements and interconnec-tion procedures, as well as the appropriate size of genera-tion to be covered by the rules. This order was publishedat 34 Pa.B. 6246 (December 4, 2004). The Commissionreceived multiple comments and reply comments in re-sponse to this request.

On November 30, 2004, Governor Edward Rendellsigned into law Act 213 of 2004, known as AEPS (71 P. S.§§ 1648.1—1648.8). Among other things, AEPS directedthe Commission to develop statewide technical and netmetering interconnection rules for customer—generators.See 71 P. S. § 1648.5.

On November 16, 2005, the Commission issued Pro-posed Rulemaking Orders governing net metering andinterconnection for customer—generators at Doc. Nos.M-00051865, L-00050174 and L-00050175. On September19, 2006, the Commission entered a Final RulemakingOrder—Reconsideration, adopting the interconnectionfor customer—generators regulations at 52 Pa. Code§§ 75.21—75.51. These regulations became effective uponpublication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on December 16,2006.

As not all small generators may qualify under theAEPS Act, such small generators would not be covered bythe AEPS interconnection regulations in its current form.The Commission noted that leaving these generatorsexposed to a situation where there are no interconnectionregulations that they can rely upon does not seemprudent.

Therefore, as stated previously, the Commission nowseeks comments on whether the Commission shouldcontinue with the Small Generator Interconnection Stan-dards and Procedures Rulemaking at Doc. No.L-00040168. The Commission also seeks comments on the

advisability of expanding the scope of the AEPS intercon-nection rules to cover all small generators, regardless ofwhether they qualify as customer—generators under theAEPS Act. Since the AEPS interconnection regulationsare technical in nature, and do not pertain to issues suchas net metering or the obligation to purchase AEPScredits, this may be the more expedient way to proceed.

An original and 15 copies of any written commentsreferencing the Doc. No. L-00040168 shall be submitted tothe Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Attn.: Secre-tary, P. O. Box 3265, Harrisburg, PA 17105. Commentsshall be submitted within 45 days of the publication ofthis Secretarial Letter in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.Reply comments may be filed 30 days thereafter. Thecontact person at the Commission is Kriss Brown, Assis-tant Counsel, Law Bureau, (717) 787-4518.
